This Safety Plan for Carver County was prepared as part of the Minnesota statewide highway safety planning process. The Plan was data driven, with a goal to reduce severe crashes (defined as those involving fatalities and serious injuries) by documenting at-risk locations, identifying effective low-cost safety improvement strategies, and better positioning Carver County to compete for available safety funds. The Plan includes a description of the connection to safety planning efforts at the national, State (through Minnesota’s Strategic Highway Safety Plan and the Highway Safety Improvement Program), and regional (all counties in the Metro Area) levels.
